This CD is somewhat of a different sound for Hal - but a good different. From what I understand, this is the first record that he produced himself. It is somewhat of a break from his previous music, but I like the direction that his music seems to be going. There are a few upbeat numbers on this CD, but for the most part, the music is a little more mellow and heartfelt. I really don't understand why Hal doesn't get more radio play - he has been one of my favorite country artists for over a decade now.

Take a listen - I don't think you'll be disappointed!

This new CD has not come out of my CD player since I got it...!!! Not only does Hal's voice sound better than ever, his production skills are amazing! It's one of those CD's that every single song is a joy to listen to over and over. I never hit the skip track button. I love this CD and if you already love Hal's music, it will be your favorite to date. If you aren't familiar with his music this is by far the best introduction. All hail King Hal!!

I have been a fan of Hal Ketchum since his first album. One thing that I have found that Hal does in his albums, is stray from the norm. His voice sounds heavenly on all of the tracks on this newest CD. If you listen to music for variety, a rich, warm voice, and originality, you will play this CD over and over.
If you want the cookie cutter type music and sound, I wouldn't suggest this item.

Hal's new CD, The King Of love, has been in my CD Player since I got it. I love every song on this CD and it shows the power of Hal's voice to express the emotions within a song without going overboard with all the production that some producers like to throw in to country albums today. Every song fits well with the other songs on this collction unlike the songs on Lucky Man. I love everything Hal does but the Lucky Man album was my least favorite. I have every album of Hal's including the very first one he did, Threadbare Alibis, there isn't a bad one in the whole lot. I would recommend this album highly to anyone who is willing to listen to the words and visualize in your mind's eye the picture Hal is painting. Hal Ketchum is one of a very few songwriters who have a definite message in their work.

I really loved this CD. It is a departure from his earlier albums , but, it shows how adaptable and versatile a vocalist hal really is. His voice just continues to get better with each passing album. He is by far my favorite artist and always manages to make me think and feel the lyrics with him. I especially liked Run Loretta Run and the Angel song. Hal's children are lucky to have a father that can express his feelings so beautifully about fatherhood. Way to go HAL!

I enjoy almost all his music and this CD is no exception. Lots of energy, and his great voice.

I found a couple songs that were nicely done and catchy, but no where like his earlier cds. I guess he is having a hard time finding great songs nowadays. Music by the band is fine, his voice is fine, but most the songs are just average fare.
